What is recorded here
One platform rose above the Finnis fields, lifting human life above the ordinary ground. Whether it served as a home, watchpost or ceremony mark, the builders chose height and visibility. That choice still stands out because the land itself records the decision to rise above its neighbours.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as PLATFORM RATH. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
